History

Sri Sankara, the greatest philosopher ever is the inspiration in the minds of people in search of knowledge and enquiring the import of human life. His vision of oneness reveals the true nature of the whole universe as well as the self within everybody. The non-existence of duality graspable through the words of ancient seers of India are formulated by Sankara to make man aware of the essential nature of himself whereby man will become capable of developing the penetrating insight of true knowledge and the resultant bliss. The tranquility of mind hoarded from the pursuit of scriptural means ejaculate the goal of human birth. The elaborate treatises consisting of the direct and unambiguous philosophical ideas expounded by Sankara, lead man to an ethically enlightened and considerate fervor in due course of his life.The Department of Sanskrit is the primary choice of the founder of Sree Sankara College- Srimad Agamanandaswami who tried hard to implement formal education for all people beyond man-made barriers of caste, creed and financial differences. Very eminent academicians like Prof. E.R.Sreekrishna Sarma and Prof. Sankara Sarma were the faculty members in the beginning. Post-Graduate Degree was introduced during the year 1983. In the year 2006, the Department was up-graded as a Research Centre. This year itself witnessed the beginning of a Registered National Journal ‘Sadvidya’ published annually. Two Departmental endowment awards for two best students in U.G. and P.G. classes were constituted. Every year, the top ranks in P.G. and U.G. examinations are secured by the students under faculty. The credit as a Research Centre has opened windows for a competitive achievement, a rare recognition for concerted efforts of the faculty towards a stupendous futuristic orientation. Dr.N.Usha Devi is a recognized Research Guide of the research centre affiliated to M.G.University.
